anxiously waiting to read them! RUBRIC.
...to these guys....
(That's Mrs. Pahl in the back...)
Use this time to work
on your Industrial Revolution booklet for 5th graders...

classroom computer. See Mr. Pahl first so he can set
the page up for you and name it correctly...
You will be working on getting the third column of that
chart completed in the lab today. Your work on this is
due tomorrow.
You will be setting up an analogy between your
dissatisfaction experiences and those of people involved in
one of many famous revolutions (you will pick which one).
Mr. Pahl will explain this more before you go to the lab.
Pick one of the following revolutions to use as the
basis for completing the third column of your chart:
Toussant L'Ouverture and the slave revolt in Haiti
in 1791-1793
Miguel Hidalgo and Jose Morelos and the Mexican
revolt against Spain.
Simon Bolivar and any one of the independence
revolts he led in South America against the Spanish.
The revolt of the landowners of Chile against
Bernardo O'Higgins in 1823.
DISSATISFACTION! Use the revolutions referred to
above and fill in your charts in the third column...
Remember the rubric for grading your presentations next Tuesday:
Make sure your third column revolution dissatisfactions
are SPECIFIC. If they are general, the best grade you
can get is a "C".
